I was fine on it before the memantine, if anything it had a v.slight AD effect on me as i did not have the racing thoughts - but memantine for me is more effective than a benzo!!On the GABA glutamate subject, seen as lamictal upregulates GABA and you would also get a similar effect from the riluzole (i.e. also through voltage sensitive sodium channel blockade!)....perhaps this could be a reason for your poor response???!
